Volunteer with Heartland Hospice Care
Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide comfort care as well as spiritual and emotional support for terminally ill [patients and their families.
At Heartland, we depend on our hospice volunteers to help us provide the love, respect, and care our patients and their families need. Some interact directly with patients and families, while others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you would help us decide which tasks you are comfortable performing.
The Hospice Volunteer:
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading or providing a comfortable touch
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency.
- Providing a friendly visit to lift a patient's spirits
Volunteer Services:
- Caregiver relief/support
- Bedside vigils for patients in their final hours
- Veteran volunteer support to patients who are veterans
- Gentle touch
- Pet Visits
